Do you like where you live?

[CalBoy]

nope I am going to move to LA, SF, NY, Seattle, or Chicago.

Where are you now (and what's it like)?

Virginia, NOVA (Northern Virginia area)

Here for job. Hates the area.

- Extra police (for revenue only, as safety in this area is the same as other areas)
- Extra expensive (medium income is high, people always eat out, thus prices are inflated)
- Trace amount of prosac and other drugs in the water (probably why some people are a bit slow, also see below for other reasons)
- Many local people's favorite restaurants serves extra greasy, unhealthy food (note 60% of local people are "southerners")
- One of the most congested area in term of traffic in the US (partly due to police keeping speed extra slow, and more due to people with low IQ who buys a large house >50 miles away and commutes 3 hours a day)

Lots of people all seem to love to
- smoke cigaretts (what civilized part of the world still allow indoor smoking at some restaurants?)
- drink (nothing against it, but people have a problem if they can't keep drinking mostly for the weekends)
- smoke weeed and do other drugs (lol, just found out yesterday that the landlord thinks spending 60 hours a week smoking his own product is "work")
- stink up the house with any means necessary (well, maybe 75% of the places)
- being passive aggressive (they will find what you hate, and keep doing it)
- drive every where, even for 2 blocks
- love conformity & azz kissing (if majority of people in this area thinks one thing, it must be right!)

Don't live here. (Unless you want an early death, then by all means move here).

Well some people are nice and can hold an intelligent conversation, but they are hard to find.

Forgot to mention about the weather.
Rains more than DC. Often when it rains in NOVA, DC would be dry.

As to seasons,
short 1 week of Spring (nice)
short few weeks of fall (nice, except temperature at night is about 30-40 degrees less than day's high temperature)
otherwise it's hot summer (WTF, sometimes almost as hot as a certain desert country that I have to travel to occasionally) or winter
- ICY RAIN!!! (Instead of snow that is easy to clean off the car, you have rain that would freeze to your car, and takes forever to clean)
- If it snows an inch, people would drive 20mph on the highway, OR spin out, (lol bad drivers!)

Haha... what area of the country isn't full of people who are passive aggressive, love conformity and drive everywhere? That pretty much describes most of middle-class suburban America.

As for me, I enjoy a few beers any time of the week and don't restrict drinking to the weekend. I don't think I have a problem at all

Perfect description of the area.

At least we have seasons.

Just a shame "rain" is the main event of most of them

I think I need to visit this place! Except for the conformity and driving.

And people eat the kids first!
